Greta Thunberg is a poor role model for children on climate and on politics

A disturbed youngster, a school drop-out, a low-information climate pundit, misled by climate misinformation fed to her by a teacher, and who wishes to wreck advanced societies and cripple the prospects of developing ones.  She needs help from compassionate people, and the exploitation of her by climate zealots should cease immediately to give her a better chance of a calmer life.

In Australia, though, someone posted a fake curriculum item calling for pupils to emulate her.  This was in New South Wales, where they have some previous in agitprop for children:

'The NSW school system was heavily criticised last year during the so-called Climate Strike for allowing climate activists to indoctrinate impressionable young children.


Thousands of school children truanted school to take part in the Climate Strike street protests.
One father pulled his son out of a state primary school in Bilambil, northern NSW, at the time after he was asked to 'dress like a hippy' by his teacher.
Matt Karlos, 38, took his 10-year-old son Max out, saying the teachers were making the kids terrified for the future and scaring them with climate change.
'The ideologies were in his face all the time,' Mr Karlos said.
In September, Alan Jones accused teachers of brainwashing vulnerable children. 
The former 2GB radio host pointed to a report which claimed children under the age of 10 were experiencing anxiety from the climate change debate.
'Young people are going to be concerned, they believe their teachers, they actually think that they're at school and what they're being told is true,' he said. 
'The notion of using children in all of this is scandalous and the politics of climate change has become poisonous.'
One small mercy here is that the NSW Education Department has taken down the offending material
'A spokesman from the NSW Education Department said they would investigate how the Thunberg lesson plans made it onto the official website.
'This web page was published without approval. We will have the web page taken down and reviewed,' he said. '

Note added later on 17 June  James Delingpole has spotted an interesting thing about the NSW Education Department's response:
'However, the NSW Education Department clearly wasn’t that concerned about feeding primary school children naked green propaganda, for the lesson plans were up on its website for nine months. It only took them down after concerns were raised by the newspaper.'

That newspaper is the Australian 'Daily Telegraph'
